Why Moreporks are that best Native birds in New Zealand

Morepork

WALT- We are learning to write a persuasive writig about our native birds.

“Can you hear that it sounds like someone chanting MORE PORK MORE PORK” “ No you silly duffer it's the moreporks call” Hi I’m Shaie and I’m going to tell you why moreporks are awesome animals. I’ll tell you about their Appearance, diet, and habitat. I hope you learn something new.

Morepork are a beautiful bird, I would know some people say that we look alike. Since the morepork is such a beautiful bird, it has its own unique features such as its bright brown and yellow eyes, its beautiful range of feathers the colour of creamy white, light orange and brown, and again its big booming eyes that stare its prey down. Did you know that the female morepork is larger than the male morepork and I bet they’re cooler than males too, a lot of people mistake moreporks for a normal owl they are not normal here's why. The average weight of a morepork is 175g, from head to tail the average height of a  morepork is 29 cm. The Morepork can turn its head around to 270 degrees. Personally I think that the morepork is one of the prettiest birds out there definitely in the top ten.

Let me tell you all about the morpork diet, I presumed they would eat pizza and ice cream like me but I was wrong. Morepork like to eat a wide range of animals and large insects such as weta, huhu beetles, moths and cicadas, small mammals like mice and young rats EWWWW!!!!! They also eat small birds (especially wax-eyes) I’m coming for you Zhara. Man I was so wrong our diets couldn't be anymore different.

Moreporks are found in open habitats in the South Island. My mum and Dad once saw a morepork at a restaurant on the Karikari Peninsula. The moreporks’ call often gets mistaken for the Brown Kiwi call. Moreporks are widely distributed throughout the native and exotic forests of New Zealand. I would love to see a morepork in its natural habitat, because they’re one of my favourite New Zealand native birds.

Well that’s all the facts and information I have about moreporks today but I will make sure that I do some more research about the morepork because I think they are an amazing species of native birds to New Zealand. I hope that proves how awesome moreporks are and I hope you learned something new, and now you have a new set of facts to tell your friends. Thanks for reading my writing.

Characteristics and Features

WALT- Seperrat the features and characteristics from charactes that we read about.

Descriptive Writing

WALT- Write a discriptive writing about a charcter that we read in a school book

Hera
Looking left and right thinking someone is there, her head throbbing as her heart pounds. Ca boom… Ca boom… Ca boom. She stares deeply into the surface of the lake, with nothing but everything to think about. She steps of the bridge feeling unstable with a slouched back and her head hanging low, as if it's tied to a thin string. Soon she forgets everything, nothing to recall on.
She closes her eyes then slowly opens them. She sees two unclear shadows. As they get bigger and closer she can identify who the blurry shapes are. Her mind starts to shut down like a book falling from a tall shelf. BANG!

Sea Turtles #2

Sea turtles

Do you want Sea turtles to go extinct? Well I definitely don’t!!

Right now your reading a report about Sea turtles this is what you will learn from this report… What they are, How we can protect them, and some cool facts about them.



What they are

Sea turtles are apart of the sea life, turtles breed in the tropics and subtropics, there are five species of turtle that are seen in New Zealand waters. Green and Leatherback turtles are the most common. Out of 7 known species of sea turtles 6 are badly hurt. The main things that are hurting them are poaching, loss of nesting or feeding areas, accidental catch (called bycatch), ocean pollution and weather changes (global warming).



How we can protect them

Well do you think Sea turtles are worth saving? I think they are worth saving, because they're a living species and so are we. I bet you if you knew how to protect them then a lot of people would start to change how they do things. We need to stop littering and start putting our rubbish in the right bins, even better trying not to use as much plastic in general. If you like eating Sea turtles then I’m not going to stop you there, but I will remind you about something very important. If its under size then you need to put it back in the water because that's illegal if you take it home. I think that we should protect Sea turtles and animals just as we would protect our kids and family.



Fun Facts


Sea turtles are very old organisms. They lived on the Earth more than 220 million years. They managed to survive weather changes which killed the dinosaurs.

I would like to swim with Sea turtles at some point in my life., because I love them so much and I would love to express what it would be like. The thing that was the hardest about this Report was finding all the
